Who will help us refresh the domestic environments? Here are a number of useful tips to save energy and resist the heat!

• Lower the blinds.
• Close the shutters during the hottest hours of the day so as to repair the room from sunlight.
• Open the windows intelligently: the windows should open in the early morning and evening, on the contrary. They should be closed during the hottest hours of the day with the blinds turned down.
• Turn off all appliances, give off heat. Printer, PC … everything.
• Avoid bright lights and better use cold energy-saving lamps.
• Pay attention to the humidity: the shower and the laundry should be done in the cooler hours so as not to increase the humidity with further steam.
• Mount tents and umbrellas on the veranda or on the balcony.
• Grow plants at home. The vegetation regulates humidity and also has a positive impact on temperature.
• Use the hob as little as possible. Prefer fresh food so as not to access the stove.
• The fan consumes fifteen times less than the air conditioner if you really cannot do without it, use it.
